52-Node Bare-Metal Elasticsearch Cluster — Built in a Weekend

Designed and built one of the largest search indexing clusters for a global media intelligence company — 52 bare-metal nodes in Network Redux’s private cloud. Completed over a single weekend, in between flights from Portland to Kochi.

Context

A global media intelligence company needed a large-scale Elasticsearch cluster for search indexing, deployed on dedicated bare-metal infrastructure in a private cloud environment. The project required end-to-end delivery — from network architecture through OS provisioning to production handover — on an aggressive timeline.

Enterprise Virtual Server Platform — Public Cloud Before Cloud Was Cool

Before Amazon EC2, Azure Virtual Machines, and Google Compute Engine were mainstream, we were building and selling public cloud compute at Network Redux — powered by Citrix XenServer clusters, marketed as Enterprise Virtual Servers.

Context

Network Redux needed a scalable, reliable compute platform to offer enterprise customers on-demand virtual machines with dedicated resources, network isolation, and SLA-backed availability. This was the era before hyperscalers dominated — and we built it ourselves.
